Sound familiar?

Readers scroll past covers. They stop for stories.

Video is how readers discover books on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube — but a trailer that looks home-made can do more harm than good. Here’s how we make one worth watching.
The problem
“My posts get scrolled past — nobody stops to look at a static cover.”
→

A hook in the first three seconds.

Every script opens on the moment most likely to stop the scroll.

The problem
“DIY trailer apps make my book look cheap.”
→

Edited by video professionals.

Pacing, sound design and motion graphics matched to your genre and cover.

The problem
“I'm worried about music copyright and my ads being blocked.”
→

Every asset properly licensed.

Music, footage and fonts cleared for commercial use, with licences supplied.

The problem
“Every platform wants a different size — I don't know where to start.”
→

Cuts for every platform.

Widescreen, vertical and square versions, ready to upload on day one.

How it works

From script to screen

Four clear stages with your approval at each one — you'll see the words, then the scenes, then the cut.

We read your blurb and key scenes, then write a hook-first script and on-screen text for you to approve.

You get: approved script
02
Week 2

Storyboard

Scenes, licensed footage or illustration, music and voice options chosen and laid out frame by frame.

You get: storyboard + music picks
03
Weeks 3–4

Produce

Editing, motion graphics, sound design and voiceover, with a first cut for your feedback.

You get: first cut to review
04

FAQ

Book trailer questions, answered

Still unsure? Talk it through with us — no obligation.

You do. You receive full commercial rights to the finished trailer, and all music and footage is licensed for commercial use — so you can post it, boost it and run it in paid ads.

You approve the script and storyboard before production starts, then get unlimited revisions on the cut, until you’re completely happy.

Usually 2–4 weeks from script approval to final files, depending on length, animation and voiceover. You’ll get a dated schedule in week one.

Yes. We’ll sign an NDA on request, your manuscript and artwork are only shared with the team making your trailer, and we never publish it in our portfolio without your permission.

It helps, as the trailer usually ends on your cover. If it isn’t ready yet, we can design one for you or swap it in once it’s final.
